We mentioned Lo’s List’s soft spot for podcasting gem Radiolab in our Complete Carry-On post from last year but the love just keeps growing for Jad and Robert. For those of you who aren’t up-to-snuff with the program’s format, the premise is as follows: each episode dissects — whether scientifically or philosophically — a topic, from Parasites to Parabolas, Mortality to Morality…
We went downright gaga for Twelve South’s Macbook BookBook cover and were checking the site for the design studio’s iPad version the other day when we came across this uber-gadget: the sleek, silicone-coated steel collapsible Compass iPad stand…
We’re lamenting August’s dwindling days because it means no more crazy beautiful Mara Hoffman silk dresses! Her spring/summer collection seriously wowed, with wild florals, tight geometric patterns, a kaleidoscope of colors and inventive silhouettes…
End of August or not – these past few days in Tel Aviv have felt like the doggiest days of summer yet. I know autumn is around the corner but 45ºC? Really? What to do when nothing you own is cool enough but you don’t want to blow all your hard earned cash on what should be your fall/winter wardrobe? Um… multitask of course!
Loving the youthful, slightly naughty, tomboyishness of this tee assortment from Rethink Clothing. What do you expect from a clothing company that employs only college-level designers for their creative vision. Why, we ask…
Diamonds are not every girl’s best friend. Some of us (erm.. me) prefer more colorful bling like tanzanite, tourmaline, and topaz. If you’re a member of camp B, look no further than Suzanne Felsen’s collection of oversized, juicy gems (don’t get your panties in a ruffle, she’s got diamonds too)…
“Unfortunately in America, babies are not found in cola cans. I asked my mother when I was four and she said they came from eggs laid by rabbis. If you aren’t Jewish, they’re laid by Catholic nuns. If you are an atheist, they’re laid by dirty, lonely prostitutes. So this is where babies come from in America.”
There’s nothing we welcome more at Lo’s List than a well-curated T-shirt collective. It’s the sort of e-commerce round-up that results in hours of happy procrastination here at the office and often ends in big fat impulse buys (which we endorse — good for the soul)…
Starting to worry about how you’ll fill your days once the Cup is over? With just two games left to enjoy, you might be wondering: “how will I live without my daily dose of soccer?!”. Well, to help you transition back to the real world, order a copy of Arkitip’s Issue №0055 (the World Cup special edition), done in collaboration with Chinatown Soccer Club. It’s 100% football meets design — cover to cover.
Well, as miffed as I still am that the NYC fireworks display somehow crept over to the Hudson river three years ago and hasn’t returned to the east side since, it still was a lovely night on our roof here in Bushwickburg…
At this stage of the tournament, with so many favored teams crashing out (see yesterday’s Brazil v. Holland shock) and with the hopes of entire continents dashed by the sporting fates (poor Ghana! perfidious Suárez!) it may be time for a reminder that the World Cup is, after all, about football. At the heart of the carefully managed fanfare of this four-yearly feast is a simple game, played with no more than a ball and a set of posts. A new book by photographer Thomas Hoeffgen, African Arenas, captures just that pared-down beauty of the game…
Ahhh.. the good life! Not only is it World Cup time, summer is also in full-swing (at least, in our neck of the woods), making these Havaianas just the perfect thing to complete that head-to-toe hooligan look you’ve been going for. The Brazilian beach shoe legend launched their first World Cup flip-flop for the ‘98 series which, with the little Brazilian flag on the strap…
Eeek! The World Cup quarter finals are upon us (Hup Holland Hup!!) and we’re giddy with anticipation here at the office… We’ve been collecting tons of World Cup-related content to blog about but, with our eyes so glued to the screen during the Round of 16, it’s been a tad difficult to actually get anything published! So, since the football gods have given us a 2-day R&R period, here are some of posts we’ve been meaning to share, starting with a whole crop of stellar national team tees from LA-based, soccer-centric t-shirt company Bumpy Pitch…
The soccer bonanza continues here at Lo’s List with one of our favorite brands, Happy Socks! Tickle your toes with national pride by donning a pair of these socks designed by Wong Wong especially for this year’s tournament. Choose from the following countries: Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, South Africa, or the United States. With socks like these you’re going to be tempted to sport the 80’s jeans pinch-roll just to let this footwear get the attention it deserves!
“A rogues gallery is a police collection of pictures or photographs of criminals and suspects kept for identification purposes. The term is also used figuratively by extension for any group of shady characters or the line-up of ‘mugshot’ photographs that might be displayed in the halls of a dormitory or workplace.” — Old Man Wiki
